LYRICS
I didn't mean to end his life, I know it wasn't right
I can't even sleep at night, can't get it oout my mind
I need to get out of sight, 'fore I end up behind bars
What started out as a simple altercation
Turned into a real sticky situation
Me just thinking on the time that I'm facing
Makes me wanna cry
'Cause I didn't mean to hurt him
Coulda been somebody's son
And I took his heart when
I pulled out that gun
Rum bum bum bum, rum bum bum bum, rum bum bum bum
Man Down!
Rum bum bum bum, rum bum bum, bum rum bum bum bum
Man Down!
Oh mama, mama, mama
I just shot a man down
In central station
In front of a big ol' crowd
Oh, why? Oh, why?
Oh mama mama mama
I just shot a man down
In central station
Little 22, I call her Peggy Sue
When she fits right down in my shoes
Whatchu expect me to do? If you're playing me for a fool
I will lose my cool, and reach for my fire arm
I didn't mean to lay him down
But it's too late to turn back now
Don't know what I was thinking
Now he's no longer living
So I'm 'bout to leave town, aye uh
'Cause I didn't mean to hurt him
Coulda been somebody's son
And I took his heart when
I pulled out that gun
Rum bum bum bum, rum bum bum bum, rum bum bum bum
Man Down!
Rum bum bum bum, rum bum bum, bum rum bum bum bum
Man Down!
Oh mama, mama, mama
I just shot a man down
In central station
In front of a big ol' crowd
Oh, why? Oh, why?
Oh mama, mama, mama, I just shot a man down (well hear me now)
In central station
Said, I'd never thought I'd do it
Never thought I'd do it, never thought I'd do it!
Oh gosh, what ever happened to me?
Ever happened to me, ever happened to me?
Why did I pull the trigger, pull the trigger, pull the trigger? Boom
And end a nigga, end a nigga life so soon
When me pull the trigger, pull the trigger, pull it pon' you
Somebody tell me what I'm gonna, what I'm gonna do? Ehh
Rum bum bum bum, rum bum bum bum, rum bum bum bum
Me say one man down (ah wah me say?)
Rum bum bum bum, rum bum bum bum, rum bum bum bum
When me went downtown
'Cause now I'ma criminal, criminal, criminal
Oh Lord ah mercy, now I am a criminal
Man Down, tell the judge please gimme minimal
Run out a town none ah dem can see me now, see me now
Oh mama, mama, mama
I just shot a man down
In central station
In front of a big ol crowd
Oh, why? Oh, why?
Oh mama, mama, mama
I just shot a man down
In central station```

Cool of you to introduce this song made famous by Rihanna. I understand this song is inspired by "I Shot The Sheriff," from a female's perspective. To me, you're showing a good amount of artistry in the way you carry this song, with lots of strong moments vocally. I think your falsetto voice is particularly pleasant, and all around it's an interesting song delivered in a flavorful way. Thank you.
Thanks so much @cabelindsay . Am glad you enjoyed it
@weirdestwolf I really love this song, you know I think when I listened to your little cover I realized that you have more vocal potential than you think, so try to exploit it, don't be afraid my friend, work a little more on your breathing and I assure you that you will get spectacular high notes when singing, you can do it! Normally people of color like us can have high tones much easier than other men, so work on it, please do not stop uploading content and keep sharing your music! what do you think @cabelindsay? I think he can exploit his voice even more, he just needs to loosen up a little more, I wish you happiness and success!
Thanks @jaredkhamanah for the detailed comment. It's really inspiring and I'll put in more effort to my vocals
Bravo!
Thanks
No need, you sound amazing!
You have a new fan in me now!
